Why is it important to protect endpoints?
- After an endpoint is breached, an attacker can gain access to other devices.
- Endpoints are the starting point for VLAN attacks.
- Endpoints are susceptible to STP manipulation attacks that can disrupt the rest of the LAN.
- A breached endpoint gives a threat actor access to system configuration that can modify security policy.
Explanation: Two internal LAN elements to protect are the endpoints and the network infrastructure devices. Endpoints are susceptible to malware-related attacks and once infiltrated, can become a starting point to access other system devices.
